I am hopeful this will work fine on my table saw, but if it doesn’t, I will of course pass it on. Cheers

Hi I will send you a pm/ conversation as I would like to try to use this. Cheers

The windows I am working on were glazed it seems with the Hodgson method. The silicone bedding seems to have worked well, but the glazing strip is problematic - I dont actually know, but likely it is Hodgson’s Flexistrip or something similar - this seems to remain non-setting and sticky. The...

This is an alternative option https://www.marmox.co.uk/applications/marmox-underfloor-heating I have used Marmox board on a few sundry jobs - it seems very good to me. I don’t know how it’s compressive strength compares, but properly installed (solid bed) and with properly installed (solid...

I am replacing some external window heading (and have a blown DG unit to replace). I found this video from Ollie Bradshaw very helpful and am following his technique. Cheers

That does look like it. And I had thought I had been through everything Reddiseals have! Thank you

Yes thanks - I was thinking of that and did look into Cubitron for my sanders a while ago (but I still have a large stock of Festool pads to get through) - it does look very good. The original query here was what to use for hand sanding where I have been using whatever crappy stuff was to...

Hi Our doors all have this seal around the frames and on the meeting edge of double doors. I need to replace them, but have not managed to identify what they are. The two fins at the top fit into a slot and so may not start out as squashed as this. If anyone can recognise them, it would be...

I have been looking at this - I think adding a groove for Aquamac on the inside face of the lip is possibly inviting other problems. I think the best thing is to repeat the use of epdm strip - as mentioned it has lasted impressively. I was tempted to try rebating the hinges, but they don’t...

Thank you - it seems like I need to get with the times and get some Abranet, which I have not used before. I believe it can be used on Festool (and other) sanders with an intermediate Velcro layer - presumably all versions, precur or on a roll have the same backing that will fix to the...

Most of my sanding is done with my (Festool) sanders for which the range of abrasive pads is fine for me. For hand sanding, I just pick up a roll of whatever I need and is available at Screwfix etc. The last lot I got is very poor and doesn’t last at all (not sure it is branded, coloured...

I am refurbishing some stormproof windows - I don’t really like the storm proof design, but it is what we have got and there are 26 opening lights to deal with, so any thoughts of re-engineering the windows as I would prefer are not practicable (also the upper windows are curved which is a whole...

I am slowly renovating some windows and french doors - everything is painted except the cill for the french windows which has been left unfinished. The woodwork is rather overdue for repainting (after about 15 years (!) - the cills are, I am guessing, Iroko (?) and the unfinished cill appears...

Same here Most of the issues have been aired - the ones i have been musing over include: - it is simpler to just replace with MR16 LED’s, but gets expensive with a new transformer for each unit; - dimmer systems can be a bit tricky - we have Lutron dimmers and i think the choice of MR16‘s, in...

Fixing the router to the lift is not actually complicated - you just need a frame to hold the body of the router motor and a means to fix that to the router mounting plate, whilst not compromising the functionality or motor cooling. I had a look at the UJK Router Elevator - the lift mechanism...

Actually a chisel is probably the best tool for the job because the glass scrapers have an offset designed to leave a margin of paint on the glass. (I just didn’t want to make such a heretical suggestion) Cheers

Not to add to the comments on how to deal with the putty, but one point with this job will be to get off all the black paint that is on the glass, because it will remain visible from the inside even if painted over. I would always do this when repainting even if not changing colour, because...

@Lol This thread may help you work something out - the router is I guess the same basic design as the AUK one (I haven’t looked) and the UJK lift will be different to my old Jessem lift, but they share the feature that they are designed for plunge routers...

yet more Catch 22! Well, if so it may be partly counteracted by the table being bolted to the cast iron table of the drill press, although that has a smaller footprint. I think I am going to do some relieving cuts in the ply and leave it for a couple of weeks. I will report back. Cheers

Ah that is really helpful Mike. A better definition set of photos than I found - the grooves pattern on the indeed roller is different to the Inca, (see earlier photo above) but it does the same job and the rest of the machine configuration is basically the same based on the parts diagrams. I...
